Man wont face death penalty in girls death
Prosecutors say the man charged with killing a 13-year-old Tampa-area girl in 2005 won't face death row if he's convicted.
Hillsborough County prosecutors filed notice Friday that they won't seek the death penalty. David Lee Onstott's public defender calls the decision a good one.
Sheriff's deputies say Onstott confessed to killing Sarah Lunde.
But prosecutors can't use that confession at trial in August. A state appeals court agreed with a judge who threw out incriminating statements Onstott made after his arrest. The judge said investigators didn't give him proper access to an attorney.
